TCL TAC-24CSA Mini Split Unit wiring

[Rjc007]

Hi, purchased a TCL TAC-24CSA mini split air condition unit that I'm having doubts as to how to wire the main power line to the outdoor unit. The power cord has 3 wires: Brown (L), Blue (N), and Green/Yellow (G).
The unit is a 24000BTU and rated 240V. How do I connect the Live wires when there is only one Live wire on the power cord. (Pics attached)
Any help would be appreciated.

Seems like it’s so bad they even labeled it wrong ?

One of our suppliers told us they quit selling TCLs because they were ****.

It is amazing how ubiquitous that font is on crappy Chinese diagrams.

Plus it is riddled with spelling mistakes. Not very confidence inspiring. Normally I would suggest an email to their tech support, but Google translate will probably mess something up

See this issue a lot on cheaper mini's, the directions are very poor if not wrong and no tech support. Reseller is a guy in a basement someplace that knows nothing about AC.

It takes 240v. Ignore the fact that it says neutral. Just wire your second hot to it.

When they wrote the instructions nobody bothered to figure out that in the US we have 240v center tap power.

240 VAC from breakers- L & N. Ground from breaker panel to outdoor unit to the chassis ground. The three wire power cord just feeds the indoor unit from the outdoor unit.

Nice translation, BTW. "Outdoor Source Broad"...

I've been told that in addition to supplying the indoor unit with power, that the wires also carry communication between the two units using a high frequency signal. This means no poor splices or terminations in the 3 wires.
